US Xpress $5K - $8K Sign On Bonus

Stick it out for 6 months to get experience then bounce if no better. Longer would be better though. Quitting right of school couldn't be good for DAC and future hiring I wouldn't think.

 

You had a deal. They failed to abide by the deal. End of story.

If you get treated like a door mat in this business, it's because you allow yourself to be treated like a door mat.

ADVICE: Don't get treated like a door mat.

 

I quit straight out of school and not a single company has even questioned it.
In fact I stayed such a short time the pretty much don't even acknowledge it haha
I did pay for my school out of pocket though if that makes a difference

 

It is because recruiters are lying sacks of ****, you can never trust anything a recruiter tells you, it s their job to lie and fill seats

 

The did the same thing to me..My recruiter called me after I kept asking about my $500 portion after my first load and was very rude and standoffish, I definitely would have punched him in the face had he been standing in front of me. US Xpress literally starved me out for two months before I got on with a good company.

 

You might call OOIDA or search for another driver advocate group. US Express needs to be sued for their false hiring ads. I think they might be the worst out there. Someone with the resources needs to take up the cause.

 

I worked at US Express for one (1) day. They said they couldn't clear one of my employers, went over it all through orientation, so I said ok see ya, and magically it was cleared. Got my truck, nice Volvo. First load dispatched was Los Angeles going to Chicago. Cool.
Four hours getting loaded.
Three miles into my run qual comm goes off " Take that load to the rail yard in Long Beach."
Just wow.
Take load to rail yard, fool around there for two hours.
Made like $17 for driving around Southern California all day.
Took the truck back to the terminal, cleaned it out, left message on QC heres your truck at your terminal please go F yourself.
Got a rent a car that my next company paid for, and drove to orientation ( SRT ).
I was in my truck at SRT moving my first load, when I get a text message for USE, " We have another load for you going to Chicago."
